At Los Angeles International Airport, the security level has been increased several times compared to before the 911 incident, and in order to board the plane, you must go through several extremely strict security checks, even for well-known actors like Anne Hathaway.

Ronan brought Anne Hathaway to the gate.

As a man with a conscience and a sense of responsibility, after learning that Anne Hathaway wanted to return to New York to reunite with her family as soon as possible, Ronan has been paying attention to air traffic control, and as soon as the ban on civil aviation was lifted, he booked a ticket for Anne Hathaway to New York.

"Call me when you get to New York. Ronan looked at Anne Hathaway's slightly haggard face, and the other party obviously hadn't slept well in the past few days: "If you need my help, just call me." ”

Anne Hathaway nodded heavily and hugged Ronan tightly with open arms.

"It's fine. Ronan gently patted Anne Hathaway on the back and comforted, "Everything will pass." ”

With that, he tilted his head slightly and kissed Anne Hathaway on the forehead.

Anne Hathaway buried her head in Ronan's shoulder and said, "I'm fine." ”

She let go of her arm, took the luggage from David's hand, waved at Ronan, and walked to the gate.

It wasn't until Anne Hathaway's figure disappeared that Ronan turned to leave.

Days have passed since the disaster, and even though the attacks were on the East Coast, the streets of Los Angeles have changed significantly, with more police patrols, increased security in public places, and spontaneous remembrance of the victims in some wide areas.

Among them were those who prayed and collected donations for the victims.

This is the most basic and simple feeling of human beings, and it is also the most basic social morality.

Ronan sat in the car, looking at both sides of the road, and could feel the changes that had taken place in society.

For example, the airport is almost stripped naked, and before it was changed to 911, it is estimated that it has long been sprayed by the public and the media as the enemy of the free world and the regression of society, but now the mainstream media does not see a single complaint, and even the people who fly are very cooperative.

This is also the most prominent change brought about by the 911 incident, the airport security and security have become stricter, even private jets, there are also some restrictions, in the past, these would be shouted by the media and the public for violating and restricting personal freedom, but now no one opposes it, the North American continent is no longer an inviolable land in the minds of Americans.

The world is indeed changing, and so is Hollywood.

Hollywood movies have an eternal theme – the little people save the world, in other words, individual heroism.

The "911 incident" has had a huge impact on the political and economic life of Americans, and the entertainment industry is naturally inevitable, and Hollywood, which is in the leading position of world film and entertainment, will become more prevalent in individual heroism, and the public needs heroes more than ever before, even if they are only illusory heroes.

Superheroes will be more popular than ever.

Another change will be made in the United States in the entertainment market.

As we all know, the North American film and television market is basically an insulator, and North American audiences have never been very interested in non-North American productions, and after this incident, this market will be more closed, and it will be more difficult for foreign products to succeed, and the choice of producers and consumers in the entertainment industry will be more inclined to "Made in America".

In the past, some European films that were popular all over the world were given a cold reception in North America, and this situation will be even more serious in the future.

In the following days, Ronan also participated in Hollywood-related mourning and donation activities as a famous producer, not only donating $5 million, but also rarely accepting public interviews with the media.

"All the heroes who have stepped up to save civilians deserve our respect. Ronan said solemnly: "In the face of terrorists who point guns at innocent people, no matter who they are, we should condemn them." ”

As a member of this society, Hollywood is being profoundly affected by 911.

Since 911, Hollywood has been greatly impacted, and the cold silence of the theater market alone has made many films victims, especially those films that were just released when the events were close to the incident, which undoubtedly became victims of terrorist attacks, and other films planned to be released have changed their schedules.

The entertainment industry is only a microcosm of the North American economy, and the economic situation in the United States as a whole has suffered a serious setback, and the scope has even spread to the whole world.

The U.S. stock market, which had just stabilized a somewhat stable trend, was hit hard, with the Dow Jones and Nasdaq plummeting at the same time, a decline comparable to last year's Black March.

From society to brokerage, the whole United States is wailing.

After 911, the U.S. stock market had to close to stop the frenzied selling.

Ronan has a general understanding that the negative effects of such an unexpected event may not affect the stock market for a particularly long time, and the authorities in Washington will not watch the economy collapse in the terrorist attack, which will become a laughing stock for the whole world, after all, this is completely different from last year's bubble burst.

After the 911 incident, it is also the best opportunity to enter the stock market investment.

The stock market crashed in 2000, and without waiting to take a breath, the 911 incident in 2001 ushered in, and after two consecutive heavy blows, the stock market can only be described as bleak.

Ronan always pays attention to the situation in the stock market and constantly gets first-hand information.

After the stock market reopened on September 17, the Dow Jones and the Nasdaq both fell more than 7 percent on the day, and in less than a week, they fell by 15 percent and continued to fall, despite the Fed's sudden rate cut of 0.5 percentage points to stabilize confidence in order to support the stock market.

Ronan found Scott and prepared to put the funds from his personal foundation into the stock market.

"The stock market is not optimistic. Scott grimaced: "Many analysts believe that the overall decline in the stock market this month will be more than 20 percent, or even 25 percent, and it will be difficult to return to the pre-event level in the next year." ”

He recalled, and then said to Ronan: "Since the stock market reopened on September 17, investors have panicked selling stocks, causing the stock market to plummet. In less than a week, the Dow Jones, Nasdaq and S&P fell by 14.3 percent, 16.5 percent and 12 percent, respectively, and stocks lost an estimated $1.4 trillion. Despite the massive government infusion of money into the stock market, panic selling was inevitable, and major stock indexes continued to fall to their lowest point in five years. ”

Ronan nodded slowly: "In other words, it is lower than the lowest point during the stock market crash last year." ”

"Yes, this is the bleakest time for the stock market in the last five years," Scott said with great certainty. ”

Ronan's face was calm, and the wait for this time was right.

In fact, after the bubble burst last year, it was a good time to invest, but he knew that the 911 incident would inevitably have a serious negative impact on the social economy, so he waited patiently for a while.

As it turned out, the wait was totally worth it.

Ronan said softly: "The authorities in Washington will not watch the stock market fall into the abyss, and it is estimated that the bottom should not be far away." ”

Scott doesn't entirely agree with Ronan: "I think there's going to be a long downturn. ”

"The Foundation's funds come in. Ronan wants to leave a certain amount of time for the investment to operate: "Just start next Monday when the market opens." ”

Out of professionalism, Scott asked, "Isn't it a little early to enter the market?" Ronan has communicated with him since the incident, and he has done enough work in the past few days: "It will take a long time for the stock market to recover, and we will put a lot of money into it, and the long waiting time ......"

Ronan knew that Scott's words made sense, but he was more aware of the future direction of certain companies, and directly interrupted: "The stock market is ever-changing, and for us small investors, we can never find the best time. I've decided to go in from next Monday. ”

Scott knew exactly where he was, and seeing that Ronan had made up his mind, he said, "Okay, I'm ready." He asked, "What about the specific investment objectives and amounts?"

Ronan said directly: "The foundation's $65 million was all invested in the stock market during this time, with Apple first, and then Amazon. You are a good operator in this area, and the specific rhythm is up to you. ”

"I see. Scott said.

But thinking of Ronan's help to himself, Scott couldn't help but say: "The Nasdaq was badly hit last year, Internet stocks have been sluggish, although Apple welcomed back Steve Jobs, but the situation has not been very good in the past two years, and investing in Apple and Amazon at this time is ......"

Ronan could tell that Scott was well-intentioned, and after a short pause, he said, "I always thought that the Internet was the future. As for Apple, I believe Steve Jobs. ”

In the face of Scott, Ronan can't find much good reason, even if he has studied the stock market in the past two years, it is only a general level of understanding, far less than that of professionals, and it is timid.

Ronan opened the briefcase, took out the document bag, and handed it to Scott: "This is the relevant authorization, enter on time next Monday." ”

Scott put away the bag and said, "No problem. ”

Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, it was difficult to say anything more, and Scott remembered what Ronan had said to him before the NASDAQ bubble burst, Ronan's investment has always been successful, and perhaps he really saw things that others could not see.

In this world, there is no shortage of people with unique vision.

Ronan again advised: "Before the stock market rebounds, all the $65 million should be exchanged for shares of the target company." ”

"Rest assured. Scott is confident: "With the current situation, it is not difficult to achieve the goal. ”

Ronan nodded, and said, "Call me if you have any questions and keep communicating." ”

Scott said, "Okay. ”

Ronan sighed inwardly, hoping that everything would go well.

As long as the goal can be achieved, it can at least be invincible for a long time in the future.
